Nursing, midwifery and health visiting since 1900

چکیده
growth studies were conducted for humanitarian purposes. Heights and weights of children were measured to provide evidence of poverty, malnutrition, disease, and labour abuse in an attempt to bring about social reforms. The emphasis on social comment is a great strength of this book. The author not only explains what was done and how it was done (details of the methodology are always given where these are known) but also why it was done. The growth studies are all reviewed against the background of social conditions prevailing at the time. They are described in considerable detail with vivid biographical sketches of key personalities. Professor Tanner's personal knowledge of the main instigators and innovators of modern growth studies and techniques, together with his deep personal involvement in human auxology make the final chapters particularly absorbing and informative. In short, this scholarly work will be regarded as the definitive history of the study of human growth to the 1980s, an indispensable source of reference to human biologists, paediatricians, physical anthropologists, and medical and social historians. Authors planning to write histories of the study of the physiology of growth, many years hence when the topic has reached a suitable state of maturity, could not do better than to emulate Professor Tanner's style, penetration, and method of construction which have been used so effectively in this volume.
